A BBC investigation has revealed new evidence that powerful figures in the fashion world, including modelling agencies and scouts, helped Jeffrey Epstein gain access to young women after his conviction for sex offences. The US authorities’ release of the Epstein files beginning last year has led to growing calls for Epstein’s associates and enablers to be brought to account.

Several Democrat lawmakers have promised to take action against people accused of involvement in Epstein’s crimes. And with the party set to take control of the House and Senate, they will have more power to do so.

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump dismissed questions about Epstein, saying it was “time for the country to get onto something else”. Mr Trump’s name appeared more than 6,000 times in documents related to Epstein. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
